Rene - I know I have often made things more difficult for myself during this build.

BUT…

I really have tried lots of variations on this…

Blocks under the chassis:



Blocks under the wheels:





Blocks at an angle:



Axles stands under the chassis & blocks supporting the bonnet:



Axle stands & blocks:



But every time I try to get the car level, gravity wins and I lose.

( As all four wheels sit at different heights, as the driveway slopes both left to right & front to back. )

This was the scene after one "collapse" and that was just the weight of the rolling chassis.



In summary - If I could, I would, but I can't, so I won't.

Gary - I should have done something like you have suggest right from the start, but, unfortunately, I didn't.

So these days it is a much better idea if I simply keep straight edges and measuring devices well away from the car.

While digging out the photos above, I came across "Vanessa" again.



The key point for me to remember is that Andy is enjoying his car, not worrying about his front wheel arch.

Hopefully it will be a bit drier tomorrow night and I can make a bit more progress.

Until then, take care, Paul.
